Outer Space (Peter Tscherkassky)

Beware flashing images!

Outer Space is an avant-garde short film from Peter Tscherkassky, which should appeal to fans of David Lynch's more outré pieces of work (such as Twin Peaks: The Return and Eraserhead).

Like Lynch's recent work on Twin Peaks, I take this - at a most simple level - as an abstraction of human interaction with supernatural (cosmic?) entities beyond our limited ability to comprehend.

If these trans-dimensional Lovecraftian beings truly existed, outside of our definitions of time and space, I imagine this style of film-making would be the closest to capturing the true insanity of encountering such creatures from another realm.
